From Scams to Hacking: Learn to Defend Yourself with the CSCU Programme

We rely on the internet for almost everything these days — from studying and shopping to working and staying in touch. But with every click, there’s also a chance we’re opening the door to cyber threats we may not even see. With cyber threats like identity theft, scams and hacking becoming increasingly common, understanding how to navigate the online space safely is more important than ever.
